Reimagining What Healthy Can Taste Like
Why should eating well feel like a compromise?
Born from this fundamental question and refined through the celebrated culinary artistry of Adu Yeboah, Velvet Plate redefines what it means to eat well. We believe that gourmet indulgence and sustainable wellness are not opposites—they’re partners in the art of living beautifully. Through our thoughtful recipes, practical systems, and global flavors, Velvet Plate creates a luxurious journey toward health—one that’s grounded in science, elevated by taste, and free from diet fatigue.
At its core, Velvet Plate is a movement for mindful, flavorful, and results-driven eating. It’s not about dieting; it’s about discovering how food can empower you to look, feel, and live better—without ever sacrificing pleasure.
Our Genesis: Where Fine Dining Meets Real Life
Velvet Plate began, as most great things do, with curiosity. Could fine-dining techniques meet real-life nutrition and still feel practical for the everyday kitchen? Could a perfectly seared salmon or a velvety tahini dressing belong in a busy woman’s weeknight meal prep?
The answer came from a humble test kitchen where Adu Yeboah—chef, creator, and founder of Velvet Plate—experimented relentlessly. Every dish had to strike a rare balance: nutrient precision, macro balance, and crave-worthy flavor.
Those early creations—miso-glazed salmon, harissa shrimp over quinoa, roasted chickpea bowls—weren’t just delicious; they were smart. Each recipe followed a calorie-based meal plan that supported real fat loss goals while still tasting like something you’d order at your favorite restaurant.
As friends sampled the meals, the questions poured in:
“Can you send me the grocery list?”
“How do you prep this for the week?”
“What’s your trick for keeping the flavors this fresh?”
What started as a personal experiment in home cooking for weight loss quickly grew into a wellness movement powered by everyday cooks, chefs, and nutrition enthusiasts around the world.

Velvet Plate — Because healthy should still feel indulgent.
Our Story: From Test Kitchen to Lifestyle Movement
Velvet Plate started as a late-night experiment where a chef’s creativity met a nutritionist’s precision. The mission was simple: to craft a balanced diet for fat loss that actually tastes amazing. Early favorites like lemon-herb salmon and harissa shrimp quinoa proved that when healthy meal prep ideas are crave-worthy, consistency follows. What began as grocery lists and calorie charts soon evolved into the Velvet Plate meal plan—a flexible, flavorful system built for real lives and lasting results. Today, Velvet Plate by Adu Yeboah is a growing community redefining wellness with one guiding belief: eating well should be indulgent, not intimidating.
“Eating well should be indulgent, not intimidating.”
